During Mike Tysonβs fight against Bruce Seldon on September 7, 1996, Stephen A. Smith observed that Tyson never actually landed a punch, yet Seldon was still knocked out. Tyson himself told his corner that he hadnβt hit him, but neither his corner nor the commentators seemed to noticeβonly Stephen A. Smith did.

I β€ π₯ π₯ he was ok all the way until he got in the ring , Mike was something different back then his mind was somewhere else and it wasn't boxing now he just having fun living life be cool if he could get a movie part
Who the fuck cares what Steven has to say? He's a never married, grumpy old fuck that just tap danced to get approval.
This dude scared of lbj but rips a dude that didn't want to get punched flush in the face by prime Mike Tyson ππ
Stephen a snach
Last I heard Bruce was living in a homeless shelter so
"I'm still pissed at him…
for not letting Mike give him CTE for my entertainment" πππ
ππΎ*.
He was whispering in Mikeβs ear: βmy man, thank you for keeping it quiet about me taking a dive, I really needed the money as well, my wife is on my behind everyday about money, this should shut her up good!βπ
So h didnβt connect that hook? I canβt really tell from this video but dude is bold for not getting hit at all but acting as if he got knocked out! πππ
Bruce was a big mf too, easily a lean 6β 235lbs, he shouldβve been a running back or a linebacker instead.
Welp he living life thanks Mike ππππππππ
The wind from Mikes punch was enough π
Thatβs why Mike Tyson lost to Buster Douglas, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield (TWICE)β¦. Because they werenβt afraid of him, nor were there to take a Dive for Money.

Many of Tysonβs opponents took dives for money.
I use to throw fight parties when Mike was fighting. It was a running joke from my friends was the fight only going last for about 5 minutes so we'll spend the rest of the evening eating ,dancing and laughing our asses off about how fast the fight was. Some even made bets on how many rounds the fight would last
Mike would tear someone's nose with just a glancing blow.
Stephen should shut up when a legend is talking.
He just felt that wind off the swing and knew that wasn't for him
Don't be angry with a smart decision a man makes.π π
Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist
I spoke to a guy a while back who said Seldon briefly worked in a warehouse with him, and actually told him that Don King told him to take a dive and would pay him a bonus in return, and in the end didn't actually receive his bonus (unsurprisingly).
I've no idea how legit this story is, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.
Fixed fight
The night Tupac was murdered
He felt that gust of wind and realize itβs better to take the fall. If Mike missed an uppercut by an inch on you are u gonna risk it? Exactly
That was mike fighting Jake Paul
I never knew about this. Damn that's hilarious, but also one hell of a compliment too. Dude feigned a knockout to avoid a beating. π
In a mike tyson voice
"Nigga i DIDNT HIT YOU!"
I would have came for the money too I'm not letting Mike hit meπππππππ
Funny how if that's not Mike there would have been so many speculating how it was sold etc. But because it is about Mike no one dare even mention it or think it. π
Bruce took the money , and he probably placed a large bet on himself. He probably called the round and everything. Nice payday Bruce probably doubled his payday. I call that a great financial decision
When Mike's voice goes up, he's being honest.
The idea of being the heavyweight champion of the world went completely over his head. Just like that left hook! πππ
I'm in for the same deal 99 time out of 10
Smart move
If Don King's still here…
I bet he's gonna tell the truth….
Those 90s fights seemed to easy for Iron Mike… Like big dudes hyped to be the next to take Mike… But they all went down in less than 5 rounds…
Then Mr Evander came to really fight…
I did not hit him. I did nawwwt. Oh hi Mark
I partially blame Bruce Selden for the death of 2Pac
Bruce could of won with that best jab in the business -A.C.
I bet that day lives and replays in Seldons head every single day.

Built like a Greek statue but had no heart!!!
Checkmate,bitches.MUCH RESPECT!
